Quote:If you have this problem again just take 2 or more pictures, expose one for the sky and one for the foreground. Layer them in Photoshop and erase the sky (or foreground depending on stack order). Care is needed not to make the transition too sharp.
Thanks very much Pat for the advice, I've been using CS2 for over a year now but never seem to have the time to explore layers (which I know is what CS2 is all about). Next time I'm out I may have a go at the technique you describe here. I've marked your critique as constructive so another blue point on its way! Many thanks again.

A freind of mine has been using PS for years but his eyes glazed over whenever I mentioned layers. I sat him down the other day and after 5 minutes the penny dropped. Very simple concept but can get a bit overwhelming if you dig too deep too quickly. I would suggest a book, online tutorial or pressing F1 in PS. Lot of info in the help files.
You can of course use the layer approach with many other pics. For example a bright lit window and the inside of the room. Generally a difficult shot to balance.
Good luck and I look forward to your next panorama.
